Happy Friday!

Didn't get a ton done this week, as I was sick for a few days & the kids went back to school this week. 

I added a painted 145 gateman by the farm crossing for some action, put up the frame for the backdrop & added the framing around the edge of the layout. 







Next up will be to give the board frame a coat of paint. Just have to decide what color. (gray like the wall or white like trim)

It was business as usual back in October 2018 as NS Dash-9 9736 & ex Conrail SD60M 5504 hustle 25Z under the PRR signals in Cresson. Fast forward 6 months later - the PRR signals & former CR SD60 series would be only a memory.
